   Note: Arbogastes, or simply Arbogast, was the nephew of the great Frankish General Flavius Richomeres[1] and resided within the Frankish domain as a native of Galatia Minor[2] until he was expelled in the later 370s. It has been stated by some ancient historians that he was the son of Flavius Bauto, Valentinian II's former magister militum and protector before Arbogast, but modern scholars largely discount this claim.[3] His Germanic name, Arbogastiz, is also otherwise attested; it is composed of the elements *arbija- 'inheritance' and *gastiz 'guest'.[4] It was at this point when Arbogast joined the Roman imperial military service under the command of the emperor Gratian, son of Valentinian I[5] and elder brother to Valentinian II, in the Western Roman Empire.[6] Shortly after his induction into the Roman military, Arbogast made a name for himself as being an extremely efficient and loyal field-commander.[7] So much so, in fact, that in 380 Gratian sent Arbogast along with his magister militum Bauto[8] to aid Theodosius I[9] against the Goths and their leader Fritigern after they had pillaged and plundered areas of Macedonia and Thessaly that year and the year before. The Western armies, commanded by Bauto and Arbogast, and those from Theodosius I in the East, successfully pushed Fritigern out of Macedonia and Thessaly towards Thrace in lower Moesia where their raids had begun, and ultimately established a peace treaty with the Visigoths in 382.[10] The able Frank came to be considered Gratian's principal officer, along with Mellobaudes, king of the Franks.[11]

   Note: Flavius Bauto (died c. 385) was a Romanised Frank who served as a magister militum of the Roman Empire and imperial advisor under Valentinian II. When the usurper Magnus Maximus invaded Italy in an attempt to replace Valentinian II, Bauto led military defence against him.[1] According to Ambrose, Maximus accused Bauto of attacking him with barbarian troops and intending to establish a puppet emperor in the figure of Valentinian II to acquire sovereignty for himself.[2] In matters of religion, Bauto was likely a Christian,[3] but opposed Ambrosius when the latter proposed to remove the pagan Altar of Victory from the senate of Rome. He lost the case and the Altar of Victory was removed.[4] He became a consul in 385 but died soon after, likely of natural causes. Afterwards, his daughter Aelia Eudoxia resided in the house of a son of Promotus, a nemesis of Rufinus, and later married Emperor Arcadius in 395, becoming one of the more powerful empresses of Late Antiquity. His military office was succeeded by Arbogastes, who is claimed by John of Antioch to be Bauto's son which is not attested otherwise.[5]
